1.8 Brake - Slewing mechanism FFB3


1.8.1 Foreword - slewing brake
This is an electromagnetic power-off brake, meaning that the braking force is applied
when the electric power supply is cut off.

Note
ENU / 2021-01-20

Depending on the crane type, one or more slewing mechanisms can be present.
All the information and procedures in this chapter are applicable to all of the slew-
ing mechanisms.
